Density in wigs refers to the amount of hair that is added to the wig cap to create a particular look. It determines how thin or thick the hair on the wig cap appears and helps to create different styles and looks. Wig density is measured in percentages, and the higher the percentage, the fuller and thicker the wig will appear. The standard hair density for wigs is 120%, which is a natural density and almost equal to the hair density of the average human head. The density of a wig is not the same as the thickness of an individual strand of hair, which is referred to as hair thickness. It is important to choose the right density for your wig to ensure that it looks natural and perfect on you. The density options available for human hair wigs range from 60% to 250% . The following are some of the density options available for wigs:
- 60-100% Density: This is usually the lowest available density. It provides a flatter and/or thinner-looking wig for those who aren’t wanting as much volume.
- 110-130% Density: This is a very middle-ground level of density. Most standard wigs you see in stores and online are at this medium density.
- 140-150% Density: This range of density is going to provide just a hair (no pun intended) more fullness for your wig. Just slightly more voluminous than the average wig. It is good for people wanting more volume but nothing too extreme.
- 180% Density: This percentage adds a good amount of thickness and volume to your wig. It has a noticeable fullness in comparison to the average 130% density you find with the average wigs in most beauty shops.
- 200% Density: 200% is a very heavy wig density that is best for that celebrity look or for performers who want the ultimate in fullness.
In summary, density in wigs refers to the amount of hair added to the wig cap to create a particular look, and it is measured in percentages. The higher the percentage, the fuller and thicker the wig will appear. It is important to choose the right density for your wig to ensure that it looks natural and perfect on you.
